How to make:

Necklace:

You start with a long piece of c-lon wire and thread it onto your needle. Make a knot at the bottom of the c-lon wire and then thread 5 freshwater pearls onto the c-lon wire. Then go through the bottom of the first strung freshwater pearl again so that the pearls form a circle. Now thread a miyuki bead onto your needle and then go through the first freshwater pearl followed. This way the miyuki bead will be in the middle of the two pearls. Do this until between all 5 pearls of the circle there is a miyuki bead it. When you have done that your first round is finished. Continue like this until you have 5 circles attached to each other.

Then first thread 3 gold miyuki beads then a pearl and then 3 gold miyuki beads again, then continue with the rounds. Do this routine 3 times and then at the end tie a knot in the c-lon thread. Now attach a jumpring to a shell and to 1 of the miyuki beads of the outer round. Do this on both sides of the piece just strung with the pearls. Also make a jumpring on the other side of the shell and attach a piece of jasseron chain to it. Again, do this on both ends. Then make a jumpring with a carabiner on one end and a jumpring with an extension chain on the other end. And then your necklace is finished. 

Earings:

You start with a piece of copper wire of about 6cm. Attach this piece to the earring, a little higher than the middle. Then thread a pearl and then a green miyuki bead alternately on the piece of copper wire until the piece with the beads fits between the earring. Then attach the copper wire to the other side again. Next, attach a jumpring to the earring and attach it a the copper wire with the beads you just made between the earring. And then your earring is finished.
